VALVES FOR WATER SERVICES 



( Third Revision ) 



0. FOREWORD 

0.1 This Indian Standard ( Third Revision ) was adopted by the Indian 
Standards Institution on 28 Scptmber 1984, after the draft finalized by 
the Sanitary Appliances and Water Fittings Sectional Committee had 
been approved by the Civil Engineering Division Council. 

0.2 This standard was first issued in 1959 and subsequently revised in 
1967 and 1977. The third revision of this standard has been taken up to 
incorporate changes in the light of comments received from users and 
manufacturers. The scope of the standard has been enlarged to permit 
bib taps have internal and external ends. Similarly, stop valves shall have 
either or both ends, namely male or female or mixed ends. 

0.3 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this 
standard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated, 
expressing the resvdt of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in 
accordance with IS : 2-1960*. The number of significant places retained 
in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value 
in this standard. 



1. SCOPE 

1.1 This standard covers requirements of copper alloy screw down bib 
taps and stop valves suitable for cold non-shock working pressure up to 
1-0 MPa. Bib taps shall have screwed male inlet. Stop valves shall have 
screwed female ends or male ends or mixed ends ( mixed ends means one 
end screwed male and the other end screwed female ). 

Note — Cold service means a texpperature not exceeding 45''C. 



•Rules for rounding off numerical values ( revised ). 



IS : 781 . 1984 



2. TERMINOLOGY 

2.0 For the purpose of this standard, the following definitions shall apply. 

2.1 Bib Tap — A draw-off tap with hori:^ontal inlet and free outlet. 

2.2 Stop Valve — A valve with suitable means of connection for insertion 
in a pipe line for controlling or stopping flow. 

2.3 Screw-Down Bib Tap or Stop Valve — A bib tap or a stop valve 
closed by means of disc carrying a renewable non-metallic washer which 
shuts against the water pressure on a seating at right angles to the axis of 
the threaded spindle wluch operates it. 

3. NOMINAL SIZES 

3.1 The nominal sizes of bib taps shaU be 8, 10, 15, 20 and 25 mm. 

3.2 The nominal sizes of stop valves shall be 8, 10, 15, 20, 25, 32, 40 and 

50 mm. 

3.3 Nominal sizes of the bib tap and stop valves shall be designated by 
the nominal bore of the socket or pipe outlet to which the tap or valve is 
normally fitted. 

4. MATERIAL 

4.1 The material used for the manufacture of diflTercnt components of bib 
taps and stop valves shall conform to the requirements given in Table 1 . 

5. DIME^ISIONS AND TOLERANCES 

5.1 Dimensions of bib taps and stop valves and their components shall be 
in accordance with Table 2. 

5.2 The overall length of stop valves shall be as given below with a 
tolerance of ±3 mm.

maintained at that pressure for a period of at least 2 minutes during 
which it shall neither leak nor sweat. 

10. SAMPLING 

10.1 The scale of sampling and criteria for conformity shall be as given in 
Appendix A. 

11. MARKING 

11.1 Every bib tap or stop valve shall be legibly marked with the manu-

Certification Mark. 

Note — The use of the ISI Certification Mark is governed by the provisions of 
the Indian Standards Institution ( Certification Marks ) Act and the Rules and 
Regulations made thereunder. The ISI Mark on products covered by an Indian 
Standard conveys the assurance that they have been produced to comply with ^he 
requirements of that standard under a well-defined system of inspection, testing and 
quality control which is devised and supervised by ISI and operated by the 
producer. ISI marked products are also continuously checked by ISI for conformity 
to that standard as a further safeguard. Details of conditions, under which a licence 
for the use of the ISI Certification Mark may be granted to manufacturers or 
processors, may be obtained from the Indian Standards Institutiqn.
